About the Book

When eighteen-year old Minouche, the Parisian daughter of a working-class single mother, meets Stefan, a charismatic Polish student longing for the spiritual enlightenment of Indian teachings, she realizes that the narrow life she shares with her mother is no longer enough. She daydreams of world travels with Stefan as they roam the City of Light, but as they fall in love, Minouche embraces not only Stefan, but his ardent desire to experience India. After he gets a grant and leaves to pursue his studies in Madras, she is determined to follow him. But how? It's 1959, and in Paris, money is still hard to come by. Can she somehow raise enough cash for such a trip? And will Stefan welcome her if she succeeds? To fulfill her dreams, she must embark on a journey that will test her in challenging ways.The 35[ Dowry is an edgy coming-of-age tale with loads of international flair and romantic color.
